Cheese Curds, 8/19: Ties between Packers’ and Jets’ coaches lead to good practice

Two years ago, there was no question about Aaron Rodgers’ feelings on the Green Bay Packers’ joint practices with the Houston Texans: he hated them.

“I’m glad it’s over so we can get on to the rest of training camp,” he said following two days working against Texans players.

This year, however, Rodgers has changed his tune following the team’s first day practicing against the New York Jets. His difference of opinion is almost certainly due to the close connection between his head coach, Matt LaFleur, and the Jets’ head man, Robert Saleh.
